Czech and Slovak events abroad: July 2009 / Ceske a Slovenske Akce v Cizine: Cervenec 2009

Summer is here and if you are not going back to Czech or Slovakia and are practicing so-called ‘stay-cation’, you need to get the Czech vibes from somewhere else in the country. Most of us are migrating back to our motherland this month  so that is why the list is kind of short but not too short for you to find something!

CZ: Leto je tady a vestina z nas rado migruje zpet do Cech nebo na Slovensko, ochutnat ty prave krupave tresne primo z prohybajicich se stromu…a koupat se ve spinavem rybniku…a jist boruvkove knedliky…a pit ceske pivko. Jestlize ale nikam nejedete, tak nevzdychejte, list ceskych aktivit je sice kratsi nez normalne, ale ne zas tak kratky, aby jste tam nic nenasli!
